Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
This Proclamation was last adopted on May 2, 1017
Summary of Request:
National Drug Court Month is coordinated on a national level by the National Association of Drug Court Professionals, which was established to assist the planning, implementation, and operation of drug courts. Mendocino County currently hosts two drug courts: Adult Drug Court and Family Dependency Drug Court. Drug courts provide the focus and leadership for a community-wide, anti-drug response, bringing together criminal justice, treatment, child welfare, education, and other community partners in the fight against drug abuse, child abuse, and criminality. Drug courts do not let substance abusers evade responsibility, but hold them accountable for their actions while giving them the tools they need to rebuild their lives.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not adopt the Proclamation.
